"Integrated Amp" Do I dare go there??????

Hello Audiogoner's,
Without going into huge details I'll get right to the point!!!!, can a serious Stereophile, really survive on integrated amp alone?? after having separates for over 40 years, are there any really awesome integrated amps out there which could out perform my present system?. I am Running Krell, gear but I am getting that change gear itch! Bad Idea! can't be done?, let me know sugestions appreciated. ******Thank You Again.

I've tried numerous integrated and I'm currently living with a Cary SLI-80, but I think the best sound I've heard by far was always separates. People offer theories, like, audio firms cut corners on preamp quality for integrateds, or sharing power supply is less than optimal. I originally expected FAR BETTER results from an integrated since the manufacturer controls the interface and there is no extra cable, so I am baffled.
